# AI product photography with Kive > Generate product shots, lifestyle scenes and short video from photos of the products you already sell. Saved studios keep a whole catalog on one look. ## What it is AI product photography generates product images from photos you already have instead of from a studio session: you add a product once, pick a saved scene, and generate product shots, lifestyle scenes and short video with that exact product. The hard part is not making one good picture. It is making the two hundredth picture still look like the same brand, and still look like the product a shopper receives. Kive is built around those two constraints: generations are anchored to photos of your real product, and the scene they are generated into is a saved preset rather than a prompt someone retypes. What that replaces is the recurring shoot: the studio day for a new drop, the re-shoot when packaging changes, the separate booking when the same product needs a lifestyle frame and a vertical video. ## How production runs 1. Add your product: upload a few photos, import the catalog from Shopify, or paste a product page URL. 2. Choose the direction: start from a studio curated for your category, or build your own studio. 3. Generate and review: run one product or a whole batch, then review results on shared boards with comments and version history. 4. Publish everywhere: export for product pages, marketplaces, ads, email and social, or add images back to Shopify. ## Beyond the packshot - **On-model shots**: Create a model once and reuse it across products and seasons, keeping the same face while the garment stays anchored to your real product photos. See https://kive.ai/solutions/ai-fashion-models - **A catalog in one run**: Bulk generation applies one studio across many products, with a review screen for per-product overrides before anything renders. See https://kive.ai/learn/bulk-image-generation-product-catalogue - **Stills that move**: An approved still becomes the start frame of a short clip, in any ratio from 21:9 to 9:16, with presets for the camera move. See https://kive.ai/tools/image-to-video - **Editing in the same place**: Swap a background, retouch a label, remove an object or upscale the frame that landed almost right, without regenerating the scene.

In Kive you add a product once, pick a studio that holds the lighting and framing, and generate product shots, lifestyle scenes and short video with that exact product. ### Will the images match my real product? Generations are anchored to your product photos, so shape, packaging, labels, color and material stay recognizable. Check every result against the real item before publishing: that review step is what makes the output usable on a product page rather than only in a moodboard. ### What do I need to start? One clean, evenly lit photo per product is enough, and a phone camera is fine. Shopify merchants can import products straight from the store. There is no studio, lighting kit or 3D scanning involved. ### Can Kive put my products on a model? Yes. Character models are reusable: create one that fits the brand and generate it across products and seasons, keeping the same face. The garment stays anchored to your real product shots, so the result is on-model photography of your product. ### How does this work for a whole catalog? Bulk generation applies one studio across many products in a single run, and a review screen lets individual products take a different studio or a character model first. Boards, comments and version history keep a team reviewing in one place. ### What does it cost? Pricing is credit-based. There is a free plan to try it, paid plans scale by monthly credits, and brand-style training starts on Pro.
